STUFF ABOUT ME

I have been writing ever since I can remember.  As a small child I would compose stories for my grandmother to read.  She was a school teacher so I thought she knew everything about what made a good story.

Once at school myself, I always liked my work being chosen to be read aloud to the class.  I loved to be able to share my imagination and hopefully have an effect on others.  I was quite shy then so this was a good way to be heard.

My dream was to be published and be a teller of tales on grand scale.  All of my early efforts were rejected by publishers, and rightly so.  It took years of practice and experience to put together a book that did justice to what I had in mind.  

Self-publishing sped up the process and this latest novel is my eleventh in print.  I spend around eight months actually writing.  The next three months are spent reviewing, get proofs read, corrections and the whole launch and promotion process.

I don’t write with any market in mind.  I let the tale unwind and it takes me where it will.  I pride myself on material that is different.  The underlying thrust is always to explore the human condition, highs and lows, and hopefully get a better understanding of our place in the universe.

When I’m not working, I spend time with my family.  We love sport, movies, board games and holidays.
